Amy’s Manifesto
I received some amazing e-mails a couple of days ago in response to my “Overwhelmed” post. Women wanted to share their stories with me and while all of the stories are different, the idea was the same. They were churning through life and finally got tired of it. (I shared my own tired-of-churning experience in my […]
overwhelmed
I’ve tried to write a post about Lucketts and I keep staring at a blank page or I write something and then delete it. It was a very overwhelming weekend and I don’t even know how to write about it. I feel like I need to stop the clock and write about 30 posts to really capture […]
It’s in the details
Thanks so much for all of the sweet comments yesterday! I received some amazing e-mails as well that had me all teary-eyed again! Some of you thought I sounded a bit down yesterday, which I wasn’t at all. I was (and am) overwhelmed in a good way. When I didn’t know how to write about […]
Shopping at Lucketts
I’m still recovering from Lucketts. (Well, I guess I need to give myself a break. It just ended yesterday and I still need to de-Lucketts my house! Events have a way of taking over.) My parents are leaving tomorrow to go back to Florida to tie up loose ends and get ready to move up […]

Say hello to “Mustard Seed”
Come on…what else could I name the yellow in my milk paint line? Yep. It’s “Mustard Seed” yellow. It’s sort of a warm honey, muted mustard color. I started out with a stronger yellow, but it looked more like school bus than mustard seed, so I had to go back to the drawing (mixing) board […]
’twas the night before Lucketts
Well, here it is…Lucketts Eve. I am about as nervous and excited as a kid before Christmas. I’ve been preparing and shopping for weeks and I’m now just over 12 hours away from the event. Whew. We dropped our stuff off at Lucketts yesterday, but it’s just stacked under a tent, not arranged in any […]
Say hello to “Tricycle”
Well, I am totally whipped. I have actually resorted to giving myself pep talks over the last couple of days. “Ok, Marian. Just paint this dresser. That’s all you need to do right now, then you can focus on the next thing.” I have made everyone promise to force me to get in bed early […]
